It wasn't that long ago really but it will remain in my memory forever. Machu Picchu is incredible, awe inspiring and just stunning. There are so many stunning places throughout the world and I have been fortunate enough to see many of them but I am so very glad I saw this magical landmark.

It is an old story, but also a true and important one. If you don't check your copy, paperwork or contracts you will live to regret it. I work in a place where those charged with websites and print materials never proof their work and we, at the worker level, hear about it. Too bad. $15 or $20 is

I am pretty easy going but I don't take Sh-t. The other day at Naumkeag, a house museum where I work a couple of days a week, there was a really troubled woman who clearly needed a distraction and decided it would be me. I took her crap for the better part of two hours but she was so negative and

I will soon be headed out to the Naumkegger, a local beer event where I work a few days a week. (Naumkeag is a lovely home/museum and gardens run by the Trustees of Reservations) in the state of Massachusetts. It is actually the model that the folks in England used to create their National Trust.

When the stock market took a hit yesterday it was scary. World events impact us everywhere. I'm sitting here this morning wondering what happened to the almost eight thousand dollars I lost because the people in England made an unpopular choice. I am a liberal politically and a proud one too. I b

Well it has been years but I got an awful haircut today. My regular appointment was Tuesday but my stylist fell and broke her arm. Clearly I couldn't wait for the healing so someone else did the deed today. It is really short and I look at least ten pounds heavier. Time for a hat.
